You might already be aware of this, but you can download regional packs for the Merlin app. There’s a pack for Britain and Ireland. I got the Iberian Peninsula pack when I was down that way last year, and it was very helpful.
I was aware of the Merlin app but have not used it up until now.
Agree it could have been helpful. I do not recall seeing an Egyptian Goose (second photo) before and was wondering what it was. Somewhat surprised it's not a duck...
that is one handsome goose!
and i crack up every time i see a swan do that. like no matter how snobby and showy you are, sometimes you just gotta throw that ass up in the air.
we went for a little hike at St. Pat's park in South Bend this morning. the spring beauties just carpeted the woods, it was lovely.
saw a couple blue herons, and some chickadees were being very cute. one was varying it's pitch and it worked in a little dissonance for me.
